	Politics : POLITICAL NOTES : Rumpus in the Senate
		True, too, that the party contested the 1999 election and, in addition to winning the presidency, won majority of the seats in the National Assembly, more governorship seats than any other political party or the other two combined, more state legislative seats and more chairmanship and councillorship seats at the local government levels.
		In the Second Republic, the various political parties had members at all levels who collected the membership cards for a fee, thus demonstrating commitment and contributing to the building of the parties.
		One of the major purposes of a political party in a democracy is to aggregate values.

	AFRICA ACTION
		Political parties and candidates should make anti- violence campaigns an explicit part of their platform, and publicize their anti- violence stance.
		Political contestants at all levels should refrain from invoking religious, ethnic, or “indigene”/“ settler” status in an effort to build support from voters, as such statements are likely to increase ethnic tensions, especially in the pre- election period.
		In particularly volatile areas such as the “middle belt” and the Niger Delta where a violent response may be expected by voters frustrated in their efforts to register or vote, officials should redouble their efforts to ensure that citizens are treated fairly and have an opportunity to register and vote.

	Politics of Niger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politics of Niger takes place in a framework of a semi-presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President of Niger is head of state and the Prime Minister of Niger head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
		As a reflection of Niger's increasing population, the unicameral National Assembly was expanded in 2004 to 113 deputies elected for a 5 year term under a majority system of representation.
		Niger's new constitution restores the semi-presidential system of government of the December 1992 constitution (Third Republic) in which the President of the Republic is elected by universal suffrage for a five-year term, and a prime minister, named by the president, share executive power.
